For many forum settings it works like this:
First the global settings are read. then the forum settings are read per forum. but the settings are only really set when they are affirmative. Examlpe:
<privatemesasges enabled="false"/>
inside a specific forum configuration will leave the corrsponding value in the ForumConfig instance null.

The consequence is that it only works as expected when you set it to 'disabled' in the global config and set it to enabled in the forum specific, but not the other way around.

This seems to be the case for a great deal of other settings
